[Oradlist] Reading Cephs for a chiropractor

Kenneth, I am so sorry for miskeying your surname in the discussion; begging forbearance of others who may be wondering who  "Abraham" was! (Besides being the wise Patriach). Ronnie.

  Dania,

   

  I think that anyone with an opinion can generate "spin" on this question.  However, if the request for the image was not based on a disease related to the scope of dentistry, then it is not acceptable OMR practice to routinely interpret such images.  On the other hand, if an occasional consult was requested because of a finding that may be related to "dental" disease, then it is quite acceptable to render a consult.  

   

  I'm sure there are others that may disagree, but to remain respectable, this is the guideline that I would follow.

   Hello everyone,
   
   I am hoping for a quick show of hands as to how many OMFRs:
   
  a) would consider reading cephs for a chiropractor (ie thorough evaluation of the entire cervical spine and part of the upper thoracic spine).
  b) have had such training incorporated into their practice.
   
  Also, would this fall into the scope of practice of an OMFR?
   
  These questions have arisen from a request by a chiropractor to interpret films for him. Although I feel confident of my knowledge of this area of the body, I'm not sure how it all plays out in the grand scheme (across dental/chiropractor boards lines).
   
   Dania
